Isn't that kind of like saying "you don't have perfect vision unless you can see through walls"?

At no point in the history of the world have I heard of a single case of "better" than 20/20 vision. And you correctly outlined the reasons having something "better" than 20/20 would change depth of perception which, if one thinks about it, could actually cause more complications than advantages. If your vision is over magnified, objects close to you will be out of focus. Hence why I stated that 20/20 is "perfect" vision. There needs to be a proper balance. If people want to argue over semantics that don't change the original point, then I guess they have to disagree about something to be happy.

I'm astounded by the downvoters, and their lack of critical thought.

You couldn't be more wrong. At one time my vision was corrected to 20/15 with contacts and had the best season ever playing 3rd base in slow pitch ball. Wasn't obvious to me but could see the ball much better and depth perception not affected. Think I had one error all season which I attributed mainly to enhanced vision.
More recently after cataract surgery vision was also 20/15 for a while. About 20/20 now

I’m astounded that he explained it so well and you still don’t get it. 20/20 is not “perfect” vision. It is considered “normal” vision.

Having 20/20 vision does not necessarily mean you have perfect vision. 20/20 vision only indicates the sharpness or clarity of vision at a distance.
